Today, my girlfriend asked me not to love her so much, so she doesn't have to try so hard to match my love for her. What the fuck? FML

That may be a valid reason to end the relationship. You don't want a relationship where the love isn't mutual.

Maybe you're pushing too hard, and you're at the early stages of the relationship, and she's not ready to return those feelings? Maybe she just couldn't word it correctly. I wouldn't say break up with her. I'd say try to discuss it, and see where the issues lie, and if there really isn't any hope of your love being mutual, then that would be the time to end it and move on.

Maybe her approach and wording was off, but she may have a legitimate reason. I've had exes tell me they were in love with me within three days and smother me. That's off putting and made me feel claustrophobic in the relationship and pressured to reciprocate feelings that I wasn't comfortable with. Maybe what she meant is cool down a little. The best thing to do is talk it out with her in more detail, and make sure the both of you understand precisely what the other means. Best of luck!

The question here is: why does she feel she has to match you? If you're expecting her to return every gesture, then YDI, but otherwise, maybe you should both relax a little.

Your girlfriend is taking the "give and take" aspect of your relationship far too literal...I'd suggest merely a step back before making any rash decisions; just a thought.

Everyone is saying to dump her that she doesn't care about you, Personally i think she is feeling a little pressured. Yes it sounds selfish but in my relationship, both of us equally feel extremely guilty if the other spends more than 5$ on the other. Maybe if you are spending a lot of money and such on her she feels like she has to spend the same amount to not seem cheap even though she does love you. I am terrible at explaining things but i'm seeing another side to this story.

She did not say anything about about buying gifts. She is saying that his love for her is beyond her love for him. Should never ask your significant other to hold back how they feel.

Maybe they are only a couple days/weeks into the relationship and OP is already very loving and the girlfriend isn't ready to reciprocate. that's a very awkward situation and the girlfriend might feel pressured.

She deserves to be alone for the rest of her life because she voiced her opinion about their relationship? You have a pathetic life if you think like that.

I'm sorry if I ofend anyone, but I have found myself have to ask my ex this same thing. When I think about it now, I should have just told him that I didn't feel the same way. He told me that he was in love with me after a few days, and at first I thought he was just being funny. I shouldn't have stayed with him for so long, but I didn't want to leave him. I felt guilty for not loving him back like he loved me.
